Escape to the future (Sign-Up RP)

[Stryder221]

"Wh-what...?! Nocty...!" Illusion gasped before collapsing to the floor in a heap, his brother following suit after letting loose a muttered curse.
They wouldn't stay there, of course. Even through the curse of weakness, they struggled to stand. Well, Illusion struggled, Breaker was glaring at the vampony responsible for the predicament.

The larger brother's horn glowed dimly, muttered phrases being just barely audible as he focused on the curse's hold on him. Whatever he'd do, though, it would surely take time to do while he was cursed, and that was if he could pull it off at all.

"Nocty... D-don't do this!" Illusion "shouted" as loudly as he could in desperation, his eyes open to reveal the bright green that was previously hidden. And those eyes were tearing up...
Legs shaking violently, he tried to stand, only to collapse again with a whimper, as the effort of standing with the curse's effects literally caused him physical pain.

How could this have happened...?! I trusted her... Took her side...! I even... I might have even had...

"No..." The unicorn slammed a hoof on the ground, only to be rewarded with absolutely nothing.
Barely able to even crawl now, he could do nothing except attempt to reason with the Vampony. "N-nocturna... Please...! I beg of you...! This... This isn't..."

[Peace Keeper]

*struggling and whispering* This one is gonna... bite us and take our magic. I ain't gonna... get stuck here. I'm... gonna...
He pauses and looks down in exhaustion.

[Maplewood]

"so that's why you accused me of those things, so that I would be out of your way when it came down to this" maple asked his face showing the struggle of the spell on him

[Nocturna]

"I don't plan on harming you all.. I do plan on using this room, with the energy present, to save...her....my poor foal that I couldn't before.." Nocturna says, crying. She goes over to her materials, still audible. "I have nothing left.." She chokes out, shaking.

"None of you know what it's like, being shunned away from your own by a factor outside your control, and being betrayed by one you held dear, none of you!" Nocturna shouts at them.

[Gracie Sky]

"No! There's something you still have!" Gracie shouted back, somehow sympathetically, "You have us! We're you friends! Or at least I'm your friend, even though we only met each other like a day ago. But if you have a problem, it is always better if you ask for help, so we can work together on it! That's what I learned in Ponyville, where everypony is nice to you and helps you out! I might not be very useful, but if there's something I could do to help you save your foal, I would do it! Wh-what's your foal's name, anyway?" Gracie seemed very interested in knowing, if only in the interest of not refering to it as Nocturna's foal.

[Nocturna]

"..it was Sunset, she always enjoyed it when the sun set to begin the night," Nocturna says, a small smile on her face. "She always enjoyed coming up with different ways to celebrate it," She continues.

[Gracie Sky]

"Oh, wow! That's very interesting! I love sunsets too, although I have to watch them from inside the orphanage, since I'm not allowed outside after dark."

Gracie shook her head, realizing that she was digressing. Although maybe digressing wasn't such a bad idea. Gracie had some more words she wanted to say, but it would be better if she were closer to Nocturna, so Gracie left the table she was hiding under. It was at this point a certain important factor concerning Gracie Sky was revealed. She was covered by one of the magic nets that was thrown earlier. Apparently she intercepted one accidentally, which spooked her into fleeing under a table. She was under that table hidden since then, so her net was not collected. Since this net was designed for adult ponies, she managed to fit her head, wings, and legs out of the net, but she was still hoplessly tangled in it. Although Gracie hasn't realized it yet, the net supressed the weakening curse Nocturna used earlier, so she wasn't in a weakened state. On the other hoof, she couldn't exactly walk and fell over after only a few steps.

Regardless, she kept trying to get back up and make her way closer to Nocturna. "You should let us help you save Sunset! We're all nice ponies... even Breaker! After all, you helped us all out too, right? So don't think that nopony is on your side!"

[Nocturna]

"S-stay back!" Nocturna says, seeming as though she was about to speak the incantation again, though hesitant. ((By the way, it's going to be a matter of convincing Nocturna that doing so wouldn't lead to anything good, and that Sunset wouldn't want her to do so))

[Peace Keeper]

It really brings me to heart for you... to help little filly. Terribly sorry for the net. Her mission is to save her filly, but I feel some dread into it. Hope she really isn't planning to eliminate Greenlight. If that is true, it is barbaric. I trully feel sorry for the loss, but that is the past. I know it is unforgivable, but going back in time is not the best solution. I lose my fellow villagers to other tribes and as much as I want to terribly fight them, it doesn't bring them back. That is why I want to pursue to teach unity for the foals so that the future no longer leads to hate and loss.

Besides. You can mess up the future if that were to happen. You eliminate her, the future changes, possibly for the worst. It may cause never-ending hate and Equestria won't even exist in our time at all. We won't exist, and this plan would have never happened, and you would have never go back in time to take your revenge. I really sorry for what happened. You aren't the only one who loses a foal. I hear news of it, but in time. From what I learned from my family, the spirit of our loved ones still lives in our hearts. Your foal may still be with you.

We can help you solve a better solution. Just prove everyone vamponies aren't bad at all. I'm from the future, and vamponies are welcomed in Equestria. So someone had to spread the fact that there is nothing dangerous about vamponies. Even batponies are welcomed, and all it took was proof of being innocent. You can help start it. Start a unity.

[Nocturna]

Nocturna stands, frozen, listening and pondering the spoken words. "Yet with the words you speak, all I am is nothing to you all, due to my actions of present. All that will happen is that I'll be alone again, no matter what.." Nocturna says, quieter, sobbing.

[Peace Keeper]

It was pretty messed up having to weaken us with a spell. I really believed that you could help us. The reason you are alone is you using everyone like a tool to help protect you, only to do your bad chores.

If you were to stop your actions and hiding, no pony will ever see you as a bad pony. The village has a platter of you when they find and get rid of you. If there is hope for you to live among the group, you need to show that you care and like that pegasus said, you have to prove that you are not a bad pony from what the crowd thinks of you.

I just feel bad for you and your foal. Honestly, if you were to take your revenge on that pony, you will forever be labled as a bad pony, and for the future nopony will ever trust a vampony ever again. I know somewhere out there, Sunset is watching over. I bet she wants you safe. She wants you happy. And I believe she hates that pony so badly. But I think she will believe that avenging will make you end up in the same fate as her. You had Combo believe you have hope for unity.

I let all of you go in the name of unity. I saw that you were friends and I like that. Just stop this nonsense. For sure they will arrest you, but with my help, and probably the others, they will give you a much shorter sentence. Just testify that you are just innocent. No need for violent actions, no need for hostile words.

[Nocturna]

"..I never said I couldn't help you, that much was true. My intention was, then I was reminded of Greenlight by both the traitor and those going for supplies," Nocturna begins, her eyes growing softer. "Yet, I see what you mean, and the truth before them. I shall not go for a sentence, yet I shall utilize this room for the purpose it should've been since square one," She finishes. "Retractica, le trapido!" She shouts, undoing the weakening spell. The guards have given up attacking the prior enchantment, in confusion.

[Maplewood]

"I'm not so forgiving though or I'm I just a traitor to you" maple said as he looked at nocturna with anguish

[Nocturna]

"You and I may not be of good terms, Sir Maple, though I respect your rank in the division nonetheless. Whether or not I view you as a traitor matters not to the goal, now does it? If I wanted rid of you, I could've done it a while back," Nocturna states, organizing the rocks in a tent shape, and organizing some rune blocks.

[Maplewood]

"then you speak the truth"

[Peace Keeper]

Thanks for undoing the spell. Just promise me one thing. Don't do things so hostile next time, please. Almost doubted you again. You scare me, and perhaps what that pony again said, if it is true, that perhaps you can set a trust for the vamponies for the future.

From the hallway, a black pony, with a fabric tied around his shoulder and thick magic-resistant armor charges at high speed.
You tried to end us all!

*gasp* Edge, it is all a misunderstand...
Double edge pulls out a baton and aims towards Nocturna

No! Edge! *Leaps towards Nocturna, pushing her out*

A heavy blow was given to Combo with such impact as if hitting a large drum and he is sent flying towards the wall with a thud.
Combo!

[Gracie Sky]

Gracie yelped when Double Edge barged into the room and smacked Combo across the room. In her panic, she attempted to make more distance between her and that violent pony, but since she was tied up by the magic net, she immediately tripped. Thankfully her wings stopped her from hitting the ground, but she was very disoriented. Her wings had a hard time keeping her up, so she was swerving and ended up flying into the base of a nearby bookcase. The collision caused her to fall to the ground and also caused the bookshelf to being falling down towards Gracie! Gracie wasn't aware of this, however, since she was facing away from the bookshelf as she tried getting to her feet.

[Stryder221]

Two things happened at this moment in time, as the two unicorn brothers took different actions.

First to take action was Illusion. Now that his magic had been returned to him, he teleported to Nocturna's side after she'd been shoved aside, seeing if she was alright.
Letting out a small sigh of relief upon seeing no visible injuries, he held out a hoof to help her up off the ground, offering a warm smile.

He couldn't help but glance at the pony responsible for this attack, though...

The fact it was a familiar face did not improve his mood. He was sorely tempted to remind Edge of the "Time Out" he'd been given, but held his tongue. For now, he was just focused on offering Nocturna a hoof.


As for Breaker, he'd already begun attempting to cast a barrier spell on the vampony, trying to protect her from the attack that never hit. With the danger passed, he made do with glaring at Edge, ready to take action at any moment. Physical action, if necessary.

At least, until a certain filly's crash into a bookshelf caught his attention.

The larger unicorn's eyes soon widened upon seeing the disturbed shelf wobbling so precariously... "GRACIE!" He ended up yelling, and with all thoughts of magic leaving his mind, he dove after her and snatched her out from under the dangerous object at seemingly the last second.

Now mostly out of danger, Breaker let out a sigh of relief as he stood to his feet, setting the filly down. "Are you alright? Anything hurt?" He'd asked, genuinely concerned and worrying that his somewhat rough rescue had caused injury.


[Assumptions were made, will edit if any are wrong.]

[Peace Keeper]

*-Darn. You beat me to the rescue
--------------------------------------------
Double Edge runs to his friend Combo.
Why did you do it? You know she is the cause of this problem, and so are those others.
*grunting in pain* Well... there is a problem with that... is that she... really is just in pain... from the loss of... her foal.
She is the one that attacked and is cursed. She returns, lurking and taking our stuff.
She was... just scared... of being taken, imprisoned... and maybe executed.
She is feeding you lies. I saw what happened. She put up a net using black magic and weakening you guys just to fulfill her dirty deeds.
She... is just messed up... in her decision... It was... her anger of her loss... that confused her of her decision.
So what was her intention of truly being here where she can do all the magic techniques?
You... may not believe this... but please. You got to believe me. As best friends.
... tell me please.
Those... ponies... over there. They... are actually from the future.
It can't be right. *looks over to the pointed ponies of the future*
I am truly being honest to you. They... are from there... ask them.

We are from the future.
Please we are not from here. We just accidentally time traveled here with a spell from a book and just looking for a way home.

You two look so familiar.
I... say that to myself sometimes.

It can't be right. It just can't. *taking a nod down and up in confusion, denial, and astonishment* Is it possible that pony races in the future do get a long together... even born together?
This I feel... that is true. The pony kind seem to get along.
So... maybe... all of these stories and rumors of the races. Perhaps they are wrong. Perhaps we can get along.
I always... had hope... for a better future...to get along. Starting with these ponies... they showed unity... and being from the future... it proves that they can... get along together.
Probably the reason they disguise themselves. Nopony trust other races. It just takes trusted members to convince that they can be trusted. I just don't get if they are actually spying to get our weakness and strike at a perfect time.

*he turns to the other with a stone hard face* ... very well. I shall spare them in your word, Combo. You all tell me the truth and swear an oath that you shall never cause any more problems. If I happen to find the slightest lie in your oath to cause any harm or spying, I promise you, it will be the last time you will ever see Equestria again. Understood?

[Maplewood]

Maple sat off to the side feeling that for once he wasn't needed to help anypony he still hadn't realized that his eye glass was broken
